Обсуждение: [BUGS] pg_trgm word_similarity inconsistencies or bug
Hello all, this is related to postgres 9.6 (9.6.4) and a good description can be found here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46966360/postgres-word-similarity-not-comparing-words
But in summary, word_similarity doesn’t seem to do exactly what the docs say, since it will match trigrams from multiple words rather tan doing a word by word comparison.
Below is a table with output and expected output, thanks to kiln from stackoverflow to provide it.
with data(t) as (
values
('message'),
('message s'),
('message sag'),
('message sag sag'),
('message sag sage')
)
select t, word_similarity('sage', t), my_word_similarity('sage', t)
from data;
t | word_similarity | my_word_similarity
------------------+-----------------+--------------------
message | 0.6 | 0.3
message s | 0.8 | 0.3
message sag | 1 | 0.5
message sag sag | 1 | 0.5
message sag sage | 1 | 1

Interesting. An klin's answer from stackoverflow.com is right.
The initial example can be reduced to the next:
=# select word_similarity('sage', 'age sag');
word_similarity
-----------------
1
It computes maximum similarity using closest trigrams not considering order of
'sage' trigrams. It determines that all
trigrams from 'sage' match trigrams from 'age sag'.
Initial order of 'age sag' trigrams:
' a', ' ag', 'age', 'ge ', ' s', ' sa', 'sag', 'ag '
^ ^
|from |to
Sorted 'sage' trigrams (all of them occured within 'age sag' trigrams
continuously):
' s', ' sa', 'age', 'ge ', 'sag'
Maybe the problem should be solved by considering 'sage' trigrams
initial order.

0.3 | 0.6
0.363636 | 0.8

(3 rows)
When searching for a part of a word I would expect that the word
similarity is the same in all three rows. It's really strange that the
context of the second word (sa) makes the similarity equal to 1.
From a user's point of view it's also hard to understand why there is
such a big difference between similarity() and word_similarity(),
especially when comparing just two words (the first row).
I do not think the current function has any practical use.

I'd like to forward a feedback from our customer who uses word_similarity() function.
François finds current behavior of word_similarity() to be useful. Thus, I think we should preserve it. But documentation correction is needed and option for alternative behavior would be useful too.

Hello Alexander,
We agree that the current pg_trgm documentation does not correctly reflect the de facto behavior of word_similarity(), and that something has to be changed. But to us, it is more a documentation problem than anything else.
What is computed is still « substring_similarity » as was initially specified between us, but it is influenced by a strong word boundary bias caused by the way trigrams are padded at word boundaries. This bias was noticed by early reviewers and you explained that this motivated the name switch to « word_similarity ». As you will remember, at the time we discovered this, we were suprised because we considerd this as a slight misnomer. Indeed, what is currently described in the 9.6 pg_trgm documentation is inaccurate (although seemingly consistent with this new name) and has to be amended.
Now, word_similarity() has been out for more than a year and, of course, it is preferable to avoid any breaking changes… In our case, we consider the name « unfortunate » and the explanation buggy, not the function itself.
As you may remember from the initial discussion, some other users stressed the importance to be able to matchsub strings. We tend to agree with what Jeff Janes wrote in this discussion :
The reason I like the option of not treating word boundaries as
special in this case is that often in scientific vocabulary, and in
catalog part numbers, people are pretty inconsistent about whether
they included spaces. "HEK 293", "HEK293", and "HEK-293" could be all
the same thing. So I like to strip out spaces and punctuation on both
sides of operator. Of course I can't do that if there are invisible
un-removable spaces on the substring side.
But, It doesn't sound like I am going to win that debate. Given that,
I don't think we need a different name for the function. I'm fine with
explaining the word-boundary subtlety in the documentation, and
keeping the function name itself simple.
Now, considering your proposal :
As far as we are concerned, we use <% and %> everyday for efficient fuzzy matching on large databases. Our typical usage scenario is matching noisy OCRized text strings against reference databases. > 1) Define GUC variable which specifies whether word_similarity() should force extent boundaries to be at word boundaries,
Ok for us, iff default behavior remains the same as now, for backward compatibility reasons. We could take advantage, in some cases, of the new « word rounded » behavior controlled by the GUC variable, but this would not cover all scenarios currently in use.
> 2) Document both cases of word_similarity() behavior.
This is clearly needed anyway.

Dear, Thierry and François!
PostgreSQL users found inconsistency between documentation and implementation of word_similarity().
Possible solution proposed by the reporter is to alter the implementation.
But it's important for me that your interests are not affected but potential further change of implementation of word_similarity().
Could you please share your opinion on changes proposed by Jan in the pgsql-bugs mailing list?

Hi, my statement about the function usefulness was probably too categorical, though I had in mind the current name of the function. I'm afraid that creating a function that implements quite different algorithms depending on a global parameter seems very hacky and would lead to misunderstandings. I do understand the need of backward compatibility, but I'd opt for the lesser evil. Perhaps a good idea would be to change the name to 'substring_similarity()' and introduce the new function 'word_similarity()' later, for example in the next major version release. ------ Jan Przemysław Wójcik -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-bugs-f2117394.html -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

0002-pg-trgm-strict_word-similAfter some looking inarity.patch – implementation of strict_word_similarity() with comments, docs and tests.
1)
repeated piece of code:

+ nlimit = similarity_threshold;
+ else if (strategy == WordSimilarityStrategyNumber)
+ nlimit = word_similarity_threshold;
+ else /* strategy == StrictWordSimilarityStrategyNumber */
+ nlimit = strict_word_similarity_threshold;
Isn't it better to move that piece to separate function?
2)

bool check_only, bool word_bounds)
Seems, two bools args are replaceble to bitwise-ORed flag. It will simplify adding new options in future.

I agree with Teodor (upthread, not quoted here) that the documentation
could use some editing.
I started to do it myself, but quickly realized I have no knowledge of
the content. I'm afraid I would destroy the meaning while updating the
